Plot Plans ______________________________________________________________________________

To obtain a Building Permit for residential construction, a plot plan must be submitted to the City of Port St. Lucie Public Works Department for approval prior to the plans being submitted to the Building Department. In order for the Public Works Department to determine the Finished Floor Elevation of the proposed house, the following information must be shown on a survey and must be completed by a Florida Licensed Surveyor. 1. The plot plan must be signed and sealed. No additions to a sealed copy are permitted, except by the

original signing party. 2. The easements for the lot (per the plat). 3. The Legal Description (lot, block, and Port St. Lucie section) or (lot and block and subdivision name and

phase).

4. The plot plan must be to scale, and the scale must be on the plan. 5. Label adjacent lots as vacant or occupied. Provide FFE (finished floor elevations) for closest occupied lot

within three (3) lots of subject lot. 6. If a tract is located adjacent to a lot it must be labeled. 7. Benchmark for the construction site should be located in the centerline of the road, clearly marked with an

“X” (if assumed benchmark is used it must be labeled as such). If a corner lot the benchmark used should be at the intersecting centerline of the two streets.

8. An elevation must be shown in the centerline of the road. Corner lots must show an elevation in the center

of the extension of the intersecting roads (See Exhibits A and B) 9. Must show ties from the property line to the closest corner of the proposed residence, bay windows, porch,

entryway or garage (See Exhibits A and B). Any accessory use (i.e. driveway(s), patios) as defined per Code 158.217.

10. Must show the proposed driveway labeled with the width on the driveway in the right-of-way area

(minimum 10-feet wide, maximum 24-feet wide) per Code 158.222. 11. The Plot Plan should reflect anything located in the City right-of-way (i.e. guardrails, culverts, telephone

poles, guide wires, water and sewer valves, fire hydrants, meters, sidewalks, signs, curbing, inlets, trees, light poles, speed tables) with measurements, type of material(s), and topographic information that may affect the lot, the driveway, or the placement of the proposed residence.

12. In the event that a lot is located next to a canal and/or drainage right of way (ditch), the survey must show

the location of the top of bank and the elevations along the top of bank, and the location and elevation along either the top of water and/or the bottom of ditch. The survey should also reflect the location and elevation of any culverts that are located in the ditch that may closely affect the subject property.

13. Survey submitted must meet the applicable requirements of Chapter 5J-17.050 through 5J-17.052 of the

Florida Administrative Code (Standards of Practice/MTS). 14. If the proposed residence is to be built on two lots, the contractor must submit letters from the utility

companies stating that they agree to abandon the easement between the lots. If easements are requested by any of the utility companies, they must be shown.

15. If homeowners own two lots but are only building on one, they must meet the requirement for one lot and

the Public Works Permit Form must designate only the lot # being built on.

Public Works Inspections

Services provided by the City of Port St. Lucie Public Works Department for Residential Sites

The Public Works Department provides plot plan review/approval upon submission of a survey, permit application and the corresponding fee as detailed in the city code, section 150.705. Once your permit application is approved the contractor or homeowner builder is required to schedule the following services/or inspections at the appropriate time during the construction:

1. Stake Out - To establish driveway culvert size, diameter, and type, as well as swale or swale linerelevations. Requested 45 days after Building Permit is issued.

2. Driveway/Sidewalk Form Board Inspection - Inspection of driveway culvert and/or form boards andfooter prior to any slab pour or finished surface. Sidewalks that are intended for public accessibility are required to have a form board inspection in addition to a driveway inspection prior to any slab pour.

3. Final Inspection - Inspection of site after completion to meet City of Port St. Lucie Public WorksDepartment standards for land development.

Note: Driveway, Sidewalk, and Final inspections are typically scheduled within two (2) days of the date of request dependent on demand. Form board inspections for driveways and sidewalks will not be scheduled separately.

Stake Out

The survey crew does field work in order to provide the contractor with the grades for the culvert and the swale. A cut sheet used by the Grading Company to set these grades may be picked up in this office, after completion of the stake out. Grades given are the finished swale grades (finished liner or sod). Culvert size, diameter, and type will be written on cut sheet. Subject to rejection fee if the lot is not ready for the stakeout.

Driveway Inspection

Per City Code 158.222 Access Standards: All driveways shall be paved with concrete, asphalt, or comparable hard surfacing and shall be constructed to city standards. Gravel is not allowed in the city right-of-way.

1. The culvert pipe under the driveway must be set to the grades provided by the City of Port St. Lucie PublicWorks Department. Nothing higher than the grades provided will be approved; however, we do allow theculvert pipe to be no more than 1 inch low, provided the culvert pipe is pitched the correct direction onproper grade. In addition, the culvert must match the size, diameter, and type provided on the cut sheet.

2. All driveways will require a form board inspection prior to any slab pour. All forms must be in place at timeof inspection. Dirt inside of forms must be compacter and dirt elevation must meet bottom of formboards.Driveways will be inspected to meet the approved plan and City of Port St. Lucie Public Worksrequirements. Note: Form boards for driveways that intersect sidewalks for public accessibility will also berequired to meet ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

3. Driveways with a culvert and that require a form board must be centered with equal amounts of culvertextending on both sides (minimum of 4-feet on each side).

4. Driveways that may not require a form board, such as all paver driveways, are the builder’s responsibility tobe centered on the culvert at time of Final inspection (minimum of 4-feet on each side).

5. Driveways to a building or structure shall be sloped to prevent the runoff of surface water into any buildingor structure.

6. Headwalls on culverts may be required. This will be noted on cut sheet. Forms for headwalls are notrequired at time of driveway inspection, but headwalls must be installed and poured by Final inspection.

10

Page 13: RESIDENTIAL REVIEW AND PERMITTING GUIDELINES

7. Culvert ends must be accessible to verify elevations at time of Driveway inspection.

8. The location for proper grades on a culvert can be seen on EXHIBIT L.

9. All joints on RCP (Reinforced Concrete Pipe) must be visible to check for gaskets and joint connections.

10. No damaged culverts will be accepted.

11. Culvert location must be in alignment with existing driveway culverts or existing swales within the City right of way.

12. Concrete driveways are to be a minimum 4 inches thick.

13. Concrete driveways are to have a minimum 6-inch deep by 8-inch wide footer, where the driveway meets the edge of pavement. If there is road base extending beyond the edge of pavement, the contractor is responsible to saw cut it out and have a proper footer (EXHIBIT F).

14. If the driveway is to be asphalt, it must have a 6-inch compacted coquina or lime rock base and a minimum 1-inch Type II asphalt. The rock is to extend 6 inches beyond the asphalt overlay.

15. Must show at least 10 feet of separation between ends of driveway culvert and all crossover pipes, side lot pipes, catch basins, and adjacent driveway culverts. Exceptions will be noted on the cut sheet.

Note: To avoid a rejection, any modification from an approved site plan must be re-submitted and approved before the Driveway inspection. If the driveway is damaged after an approved Driveway inspection, it is the builder’s responsibility to schedule a Driveway re-inspection before a Final.

11

Page 14: RESIDENTIAL REVIEW AND PERMITTING GUIDELINES

Sidewalk Form Board Inspection

1. Sidewalks used for public accessibility will require a form board inspection prior to any slab pour. The sidewalk will be inspected to meet the approved plan, City of Port St. Lucie Public Works Department standards, and ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

2. All forms must be in place at time of inspection.

3. Concrete sidewalks are to be a minimum 4 inches thick.

4. In addition to ADA slope standards, the sidewalk shall be sloped to function with drainage.

5. All dirt inside of the forms must be compacted and dirt elevation must meet bottom of formboards.

Note: Sidewalks that may not require a form board (such as some paver) will be inspected at time of Final inspection. To avoid a rejection, any modification from an approved site plan must be re-submitted and approved before the Sidewalk Form Board inspection. After the slab pour, sidewalks will be inspected again at time of Final inspection.

Final Inspection

1. Swale grades are verified. A ½” to ¾” low tolerance is accepted, if pitched in the correct direction.

2. All pegs in liner must be installed on sides and ends should be flush with liner (10 pegs per 20’ section).

3. The swale and property are to be sodded per City of Port St. Lucie Code 97.03 (2)(a), (EXHIBITS I, J, K).

a.Sod must be below the edge of pavement.

b. Sod must match the liner.

c.All swales disturbed at the street right-of-way will require proper erosion control and must be functional. On undeveloped disturbed lots with no liner, a minimal 2 rows of sod, spaced approximately 8 inches apart, shall be used for drainage flow in the swale area with seed and straw mulch. On undeveloped disturbed lots with liner, a minimal 2 rows of sod along edge of liner is required with seed and straw mulch. It is encouraged to use more than the minimal sod requirements as a method of erosion control, and additional sod may be required by the Public Works Department at time of Final inspection.

d. All swales disturbed at the street right-of-way that have liner must be restored with liner matching original grades.

e.A 6-foot by 30-foot sod wedge is required on undeveloped adjacent lots if disturbed.

f. Sod must be tied into adjacent developed lots. If a fence is installed along a property line, sod must tie into bottom of fence. No gaps between sod and fence.

g. A ten-foot wide strip of sod shall be placed adjacent to all drainage right-of-ways.

h. Please be aware that if an adjacent developed lot’s swale area has been crossed and utilized by the builder of new construction, it must be restored and have the same type of original sod. New sod must tie into existing sod.

4. The final grading of the lot is the responsibility of the contractor. We check for the drainage to go below the stucco grade (around house) then drain into the easements. This also includes back porches.

12

Page 15: RESIDENTIAL REVIEW AND PERMITTING GUIDELINES

5. The back and side easements must have positive drainage to the front swale; this is called “A” DRAINAGE. There is also “B” DRAINAGE, which drains to the back and front (EXHIBITS G and H).

6. Adjacent swales and lots are defined as next to, across the street, or behind the subject property, and the contractor is responsible for restoring any damage caused by the construction of new home (i.e. ruts in the swales, construction debris, items that might interrupt water flow or mowing).

7. All wash outs caused by your construction must be removed from all culverts, crossover pipes, liner, side-lot ditches, catch basins, and canals at time of Final inspection. In addition, all silt fences in the swale at the street right-of-way from your construction must be removed at time of Final inspection.

8. Seed and hay or sod must be distributed on undeveloped lots that are disturbed due to construction.

9. The City of Port St. Lucie requires all slopes not to exceed 3:1 (three-foot horizontal to one-foot vertical).

10. If road is damaged by your construction, it must be restored with same material.

11. If contractor is still working on Final or Final re-inspection, we will not inspect the job until all work is completed. Rejected tag will say NOT READY.

12. If a homeowner wants to have landscaping or leave a natural area on their property, drainage easements must not be adversely affected and meet Final Public Works requirements as a functional surface water drainage plan. In addition, a natural area or landscape letter may be requested by the inspector and appropriate signatures will be required.

13. If the builder chooses to install a drainage pipe on their property, the Public Works Department will determine the type, size, and gauge of the pipe. It is the responsibility of the builder, at time of Final inspection, to have the pipe or pipes working as part of a functional surface water drainage plan. In addition, drainage cap or catch basin on the ends of the pipe may be required.

14. Courtesy inspections are accepted before rough grading has started. These inspections are typically for areas that have minimal drainage in backyards and along easements. We do not provide pre-sod inspections. Also, no courtesy inspection after rejection tag has been issued.

15. Driveways and sidewalks for public accessibility, constructed by the builder, will be inspected to meet the approved site plan, City of Port St. Lucie Public Works Department standards, and ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

16. Damaged driveways and sidewalks for public accessibility will be rejected.The builder will be responsible to have it repaired with the appropriate inspections before a Final will be approved.

Note: Any modification of these requirements shall be on the approval of the Public Works Department.
